PLENTY OF WORK ON DEMAND.
A building contractor said yesterday: "Indi-
annapolis will have more employment for labor
| ing men this summer than for ten years past.
We already have double the number of men EN-.
ployed we had at this time last year, and the in
dications that it will still have to be greatly
| increased. From what can learn, the demand
for men is extending to all branches of business.
| and there is no reason for any laboring man to
| complain. All fear is that the bright prospect
may be ruined by the men themselves Last
spring business opened up in An encouraging
manner, but the seasons work was hardly begun

JAMES BOOK PARoLED
| The trial and conviction of James H. Book
before Ross Clark, acting criminal judge, year
| ago, was attended by circumstances that won
the sympathy of those who witnessed mis- sen.
tence. Book is stone mason, man of good
address. and always bore a good character. He
told the judge that under the impulse of affec-
ton for ayoung lady in this city, he took without
permission horse and buggy from the streets
more speedily. She had been sent to Chicago,
he said, by her parents to separate her and the
J lover, but she telegraphed him to come as she
could not live without him. Book had sought to
enilven his depressed spirits by drinking LIQUOR
and the sweetheart's summons brought him here
with the horse and buggy which he intended to
leave In charge OF a livery man while he contin-
ued his journey by train. He was arrested and
imprisonment in the northern penitentiary. He
has been paroled by Governor Gray
THE GRAND JURY INVESTIGATION.
The county grand jury did nothing yesterday
but work on the election conspiracy case. Capt.
Ritter, who conducts the examination, is max
ing it very thorough. During the day only five
or six Witnesses were before the jury, and from
the time each was in the room it is believed
that no effort is being spared to give all the
facts. 1t was noticeable that those of the con-
spirators who were around the courthouse yes
terday were very nervous. They evidently fear
that the day of reckoning is near at hand
only those who were summoned before
tie jury could be seen about the building Sim
Coy and Sam Perkins, who have not yet been
called upon to testify, were absent from their
usual haunts all day. Among the witnesses
about the entrance to Tie room there was much
secret canvassing OF the matter that brought
them together, and there is no doubt heroic
effort will be made to cover up the crime The
jury will now work steadily on the case until
the evidence is in, and it is probable that all of
next week. and possibly longer, will be required
in this work.

mist not enter house where they do not call.
THE UNITED LABOR PARTY.
The meeting of the United Labor party, to
ratify the work of the Cincinnati convention,
will 'occur to night at Tominson Hail. Fifteen
labor organizations have voted to attend in
body. Among these are several local assemblies
of Knights of Labor, the presence of which at
the meeting, it is said will cause trouble between
them and the district assembly. The constitu-
ton of the organization forbids any assembly
taking part in political gatherings, or even in
discussing politics in the meetings of the order
Orders have gone out from the district assembly
that the lodges must not attend this meeting in
body, but, Notwithstanding it, the lodges in
tend to CO. It is claimed that the differences
that have already arisen in this city among the
Knights in regard to the party will cause
the withdrawal of two, and probably three, local
assemblies from the district assembly The
meeting will be addressed by Col Jesse Harper
of Danville, ILL.,; Col S. F. Norton. editor of the
Chicago Sentinel, and Mrs Mary E. Haggart, of
this city. Rev. G. NJ Lockwood, of Cincinnati
was expected to be present but has written that
he cannot come. There was some talk yester-
day that full city ticket would be nominated
but the leaders of the movement deny the re-
port. They say, however, that q ticket will be
